Here is Walerian
Borowczyk's interpretation of two controversial plays (Erdgeist
and Pandora's Box) written by 19th Century German author Frank
Wedekind. The story deals with an enticing young dancer/model named Lulu
who - seemingly because of her liberal attitude towards sex and nudity
- rises up in society by making the most of relationships with wealthy
men. However, she later falls into poverty, despair and prostitution culminating
in an encounter with Jack the Ripper.

Polish-born filmmaker Walerian Borowczyk (best known for THE
BEAST, STREETWALKER and CEREMONIE
D'AMOUR) began his film career as a movie poster art-designer
and then started making short animated films in the late 1950s. He relocated
to France in the early '60s where he gained a reputation as a leading
animator before switching to live-action motion pictures which became
increasingly more and more controversial due to their explicitly erotic
and sensational content. Mr Borowczyk died from congestive heart failure
in February 2006 at age 82.
